A Laminar flow hood/cabinet is an enclosed workstation that is used to create a contamination-free work environment through filters to capture all the particles entering the cabinet.

A laminar flow cabinet that is also known as a laminar clean bench, provides a sterile working environment for samples and work processes such as media plate preparation. It should not be used when working with infectious materials as it doesn't give users protection.
